So the guy makes a stupid video. Ok so he has a criminal record and is on probation for bank fraud. So he makes the news and attracts the attention of the federal authorities.

But held without bond?

And after Obama tells the United Nations that people who insult Mohammed have no future.

Shouldn't High School civic classes teach students that freedom of speech is ok as long as your saying something the government agrees with.

I have my suspicions regarding the answer, but does anyone know the typical punishment for this man's alleged crimes?

It does appear that he violated his probation, and the court found him a flight risk for continuing to use aliases. While it's completely understandable to see this as a possible abuse of the judicial system to stifle free speech, it appears this MAY not be the case here..

So a man who might be sentenced for up to two years for a probation violation is going to flee and risk a much longer sentence.

Jail however, is probably the safest place for him right at the moment.
